TO ADJUST THE FULL-RECLINING BACK (if applicable)
Pull the trigger release and recline the back to the desired increment position.
Then lock the trigger release back into place.
TO PROPEL YOURSELF
Position yourself comfortably in the chair.
Grasp the hand rims and rotate them in the direction you wish to go. Try
to develop a consistent stroke.
TIRES
Make sure the tires are not worn. Worn tires can cause difficulty in
propelling and maneuvering the wheelchair. To ensure proper balance,
both tires should be replaced at the same time.
CASTER
Remove any lint, thread or dirt that may be caught in the casters to
prevent binding.
HAND RIMS
Replace the hand rims if there are any signs of rough, sharp edges or
peeling.
REAR WHEEL LOCKS
You can make minor adjustments to compensate for normal tire wear by
simply loosening the bracket and sliding the assembly forward or
backward.
